Abstract
A complex charge trapping instability was identified in CMOS/SOS circuits which had failed during extended life tests. The cause of this instability was shown to be latent oxide damage from forced oxide currents during ion implantation. A conducting wafer coating during ion implant was found to eliminate the forced oxide current and to prevent the instability.
